So - let's dive in and explore what's in store! And remember to stay tuned to our socials, as each month is looking to have something new to share!
YOGA CLASSES
As we welcome March, we are also in the season of ‘release’ ~ Autumn. A time to begin to slow down and start shedding the speed of ‘summer’. A way to nurture this is through a consistent yoga practice.
Each week, we hold regular Yoga classes along with a monthly Sunday restorative session. The Yoga goodness for this month is:
Monday @ 6pm - Yin + Reiki with Sofie
Tuesday @ 9am - Slow Flow with Christine
Thursday @ 6pm - Yin + Meditation with Sofie
Last Sunday of the month @ 2pm - Restorative Yoga with Christine
please note: this month, the class is held a week earlier due to Easter
Our studio is capped to a maximum of 10 attendees. This ensures an intimate class where you can feel comfortable knowing you are supported by the class Yogini. After all, yoga isn't about being lost in the crowd, it's about being found in the practice.
Did you know, we provide the equipment required for the class? That's right, so if you have never experienced Yoga before, and have been concerned that you don't have the things needed to attend - worry no more. Come down to the Brightwater Wellness Hub and experience Yoga - you will be pleasantly surprised of your capabilities and by the positive affects on your state of well-being!
Walk-ins are welcome however, we recommend booking as some classes are filling fast! Head to our website to book a class. We also offer yoga packages with prepaid options here.

Presenting ~ Autumn Yin & Pins with Nautilus Acupuncture
Autumn. Release. Transform. Inspire. Protect.
As the energy around us changes with each season, so does the energy within. Chinese Medicine believes that our best health can be achieved by aligning our daily activities, diet and movement practices with the qualities of the season we are in.
Autumn is the turning point from the Yang of summer, back towards the Yin of Winter. It is known as the season of Transition. As we notice the slight coolness in the air, the leaves drifting to the ground and the days shortening we start to feel the gentle pull to slow down. The organs associated with Autumn is the Lungs and Large Intestine. Both have a role in ‘letting go’. Each pivot point in the year is an opportunity to reflect on what we may be holding and consider whether it helps or hinders our health and wellbeing.
Autumn Yin & Pins is on Sunday March 10th ~ head here for more information or to book

The pharmacology of essential oils brings the mind and body back to the equilibrium quickly and safely.
Heather and Natalia will introduce you to the essential oils that have a solid evidence base of research for their therapeutic properties to calm the mind and body, and support mental health, emotional regulation, sleep, hormonal balance, and more.

It is the perfect antidote for the demands of a hectic lifestyle.
Held once a month on Fridays from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm at the Brightwater Wellness Hub, this transformative experience is available for an investment of $45.
Restorative Yoga, characterized by its tranquil and meditative style, involves resting in poses for extended durations with full support from props. This support allows you to deeply relax and settle into each pose. Guided meditations and breath awareness further aid in drifting into a state of mental calmness, surrendering to the present moment. Beyond its restorative benefits, this yoga style aid to enhance sleep quality and relieving muscle tension.
Reiki, an energy healing technique, contributes to relaxation and stress reduction through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners utilize their hands to channel energy (chi) into the body, promoting the flow and balance of the energy system.
Sound Healing employs various musical instruments, notably crystal quartz singing bowls tuned to different frequencies. These vibrations facilitate healing in different aspects of the mind and body, complementing the overall therapeutic experience.
